Leafy Thank You

This card combines challenges from my three of my favorite sites to frequent:   Less is More, Paper Trey Ink blog, and Simplicity .

Over at Simplicity, Susan is hosting a One Layer Inspiration Challenge to use something from her Pinterest board.  I found this leaf hanging which I love (I wanted to capture the picture for you, but this one wouldn't let me).

I, once again, used this sketch challenge  from Less is More.
And I tried the technique from Paper Trey's Make It Monday.  This week is called "double time bleaching" .  Now I have never done bleaching with stamps.  So this was a learning experience for me.  And since this is a one layer card, I needed to be sure that the bleach did not "bleed" outside the main image panel.  Here is my solution: 

I used the removable tape to tape down the cling wrap to the areas that would not get the bleach. 

After I was done stamping with the bleach and color, I thought the panel needed a bit more "umph".  So I spritzed it with some Perfect Pearl Mist (in Sunflower Sparkle).  Here is a close-up of that effect:

Supplies used:
Paper - Paper Trey Ink (terracotta)
Stamps - leaves: Stampin Up Gently Falling; sentiment: PTI
other: scallop embossing folder: sizzix (?), pearls, Perfect Pearls Mist, score board

Thanks for looking.
